After my last post a week ago, I decided to try the Grand Army (M) Backpack. Here are some of my thoughts after trying it for a couple of Days:
Hey everyone.
As the title says, has anyone had experience with Cote et Ciel bags?
Much appreciated!
Hello guys, I am back with another review, this time with a bag that doesn’t seem to be mentioned as much.
Here are the main points, so you don’t have to read the review on my site if you don’t want to:
I am about to purchase a Bellroy sling and want to make sure that it can hold my full size nintendo switch before I make the purchase.
I would prefer the mini since it is more compact but I can only find testimonials online about the full size sling bag holding a switch.
Is there anyone who owns the sling mini who can confirm that it can fit a nintendo switch relatively easily?
Thanks!
All of my person clothes fit into my one-bag, a Patagonia Arbor 20L. In 2016 I watched a video in which a woman challenges the viewer to live 30 days out of just one bag. I took the challenge and loved it so much it surprised me. I have been decluttering and optimizing my possessions ever since. Today, I sent off the last piece of hobby gear that hd hovering around unused for years. And in the moment I achieved an inner peace. They all fit with room for basic toiletries, a packing cube of under things and a sleeping bag liner. So proud of myself! I know we mostly focus on travel in this sub, but it was always a lifestyle goal for me too. The trips helped to discover what’s actually useful versus what’s just nice to have. Cheers!
I’m planning a 1-year trip out and am almost at the last stage of buying a few packs (26-30L range) and seeing what I like the most.
I am of course struggling with a few item that I think I’ll use, but I know I don’t need (Silk liner, Small tablet, etc).
What “nice to have” items did you end up ditching or sending back home?
As I understand, it’s okay for me to post a link to my site if I include the full review here. Link to review on my website with photos.
Please feel free to ignore the link as this is the FULL review. As always, I am happy to answer any questions you have or if you like me to compare it with some other bag I’ve reviewed in the past.

I’ve been reviewing TOM BIHN bags for a while now, and in recent years, I’ve witnessed a shift in the company.
I remembered the first time I sensed the change was in their update of the Synapse to the Synik. Edgeless shoulder straps, dedicated laptop compartment, full clamshell opening, some of the most requested features, were finally introduced.
At that time, Tom Bihn (yes, Tom is a real person) stepped down as lead designer, leaving the design throne to the hands of younger designers. Tom’s designs were the stuff of legends and formed the backbone for many of the evolutions we see these days, but the new …
Hi all, I saw a post the other day saying they wished more people posted a breakdown of their one bag post trip of what worked and what didn’t. So I thought I’d post mine from my recent 12 day trip to Malta and Gozo from the UK. A quick note, this was a pretty warm weather country so it is designed around warm climates. Hopefully this helps some people.
